462 The Battle of Gemini
There is a big difference between middle school basketball and professional basketball. Basically, the main players are responsible for the game. Unless the main players leave the court for five fouls, are injured or exhausted, they will generally not let substitutes come out. After all, there are only a few students in each school, and there are only a few people who are better at playing basketball.
Leonard and Snell were indeed strong. The two of them cooperated frequently in the first quarter, either breaking through or jumping shots, and their shooting percentage was very impressive. The Li brothers were not willing to be outdone, especially Michael. This kid was even more crazy and was like a madman to tear up the defense line of Martin Luther King Middle School. The two sides began a confrontation of cooperation on the outside, and the game was extremely exciting.
Snell broke through with the ball, Michael retreated to defend, but was crushed by the former. Snell broke into the penalty area and held the ball over his head. Bruce rushed out like a ghost to make up for the defense. Seeing this, Snell immediately passed the ball, Leonard followed up from behind, jumped hard after receiving the ball, and dunked it;
Michael broke through Snell in disguise, and Hit covered him. He threw Snell away and jumped up. Leonard jumped and disturbed him. Michael looked at the basket, but the ball in his hand was thrown out of the bottom corner three-point line. Bruce appeared at the right time and hit;
Leonard hit Bruce with his back, who was half a head shorter than him, and he was really thinner. Faced with such a tough back-push attack, there was no way. Michael stepped forward to steal, but Leonard suddenly turned around and broke the double team, and then passed the ball to Snell who rushed to the basket. Snell jumped against Cai Chen and scored 2
Turning back to Bruce to take revenge, he dribbled the ball and broke through, Leonard had a good defense, Snell was relieved, so he watched him get rid of Bruce with a smile. As a result, he accidentally ran out like a loach, Bruce passed the ball in time, Michael made a three-step layup and pushed Bayfield with a trolley layup, and threw the ball into the basket accurately...
Both sides were after we came on stage. The game became a confrontation between geniuses. The fans who came to watch the game were excited, and the scouts even shone with their eyes: This trip was not in vain. Except for Leonard and Snell, they discovered two geniuses again.
If the Li brothers abused the weak team in the past and made the scouts worried, then the tough battle between them and Leonard and Snell today is enough to prove everything. This is a bloody battle with bayonets. They did not retreat or hesitate, showing the strong heart that superstars should have.
Leonard and Snell are almost the best high school students in California now. Although Willison High School is stronger overall, they play team basketball. In the single-on-one competition, they are much worse than Leonard and Snell.
Leonard is particularly good. He is the well-deserved boss of Martin Luther King High School. He is in his senior year this year. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the California basketball master next year.
Generally speaking, in which state the American children are born, they will basically go to school where they are before high school. The national conditions are similar to China. Only when they go to college will they go to other states, especially outstanding basketball players. The basketball education level in middle schools is similar. They just lay the foundation and go to strong schools such as the University of Kentucky, HCLA, North Carolina, etc. when they go to college.
This makes California high schools more depressed, because in recent years, there have been no good seedlings in California. This was not the case before. To put it far, there are Richard Jefferson, Tyson Chandler, Paul Pierce, Hamilton, Barnes and other strong players in California; if you say it closer, you will be more: Paul George, Russell Westbrook, Jennings, Kevin Love, James Harden, etc.
In the past two sessions, in addition to Leonard and Snell, there is also a 14-year-old boy in Mitty Christ High School. Other middle schools have no new stars that can make people shine. The appearance of the Li brothers has made many high school head coaches and college scouts. These are two good seedlings.
After the first quarter, both sides scored high scores, St. Lawrence Middle School was 2 points behind at 220. At the end, Leonard made a layup with a low post against Bruce.
The Li brothers teamed up to score 6 points, Leonard and Snell teamed up to score 19 points, and the game became the world of Gemini, and everyone else was a supporting role.
Michael and Bruce were very upset by the team's backwardness. Chamberlain smiled when he saw this. He sat between the teenagers and hugged them with his arms wide open and smiled: "Hey, guys, you guys, you're doing well, but obviously, the puppies on the opposite side are also very powerful."
Michael was a dead duck and shouted, "We haven't tried our best yet. We're just trying to do it, otherwise we'd lost them earlier."
The calm Bruce also floated under the stimulation of the two Gemini stars Leonard and Snell. He proudly said: "Yes, we are not serious yet. Once we get serious, we are afraid of ourselves."
Chamberlain nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very good, guys, your fighting spirit makes me very satisfied. Let's do it like this. We will definitely win today's game," he pondered for a moment, "But we have to change the tactics a little bit. In the second quarter, the Blues organized the offense, Michael broke through and feinted, and the real offense was left to Cai and Hit. Cai attacked strongly in the inside, and Hit looked for opportunities to shoot from the outside, so let's give them some color.
Michael said unconvincedly: "I still have strength..."
Bruce frowned and thought about it, pulled his arm and said, "You idiot, do what he said, he is the head coach. We will do what he said, so it will be fine."
Old Man Will shook his head depressedly, please, brother, I am the head coach, okay?
On the bench opposite Martin Luther King, the teenagers looked at Chamberlain's eyes flashing with little stars. Center Bayfield shouted excitedly: "That's Chamberlain, that's 8pE-God, alive and damn, those bastards are so lucky. As long as I think they can play with them at any time, I'm jealous."
Snell sneered: "What's that? Danny, he's just an NHAI player. We, at least Leonard and I, will definitely enter the NHAR spoon, and we will be better than him. Look at it, see how I deal with him at that time."
Snell was invincible in California high school and he didn't know the real combat power of NHAI stars.
Leonard looked at Chamberlain, and he licked his lips, feeling a little sad. Grandma, if Chamberlain had become the principal of St. Lawrence Middle School earlier, he would have transferred to school early. He is not a treacherous Snell. He is deeply aware of Chamberlain's power, so he knows the energy that Chamberlain represents. If he can get the guidance of Chamberlain and the team behind him, his NHA journey will definitely be smoother.
At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides still maintained the starting lineup. In fact, there were no tactics in the high school game. The only school in California that could interpret tactics to the extreme is Willison High School. Their students emphasize team and discipline, and they do not need or allow superstars to appear on the team. So even if they are famous, not many middle school stars will go to their school.
Martin Luther King is still the main attacker of the Gemini. Bayfield's words stimulated Snell. He was tough at the basket and Michael pestered him at all costs, making him uncomfortable to get the ball - he doesn't need to do the main attack anyway, so keep his energy? It's better to defend hard, you can't score points, and the bastard on the opposite side won't score either.
Snell got the ball and shook his shoulders and broke through. Michael's knee twisted vigorously and followed him. Snell was very uncomfortable and could not shake Michael away for seven or eight seconds. He was a little angry. When he turned around, he waved his elbow and hit Michael's chin.
Michael retreated in pain, Snell hurriedly jumped and made a layup, and the ball entered.
Michael was extremely angry. He ran to the referee and shouted, "Hey, sir, he swung his elbow and looked at my chin. He was almost smashed by this bitch."
Snell's movements were quite hidden, and the referee didn't notice them at all, so he shook his head and ignored him. Seeing this, Snell's heart was hanging in the air, and he ran down and mocked Michael: "Hey, rookie, are you looking for the referee's dad? You can't stand it anymore? Man, isn't Chamberlain a tough guy? Didn't he teach you how to play basketball? Or is he a soft guy? He just pretends to be fake on TV?"
These words completely angered Michael. He rushed up and pointed at Snell and said, "Put your mouth clean, bedbug, fuck you bad things you dare to say, I will break your teeth."
The referee did not notice Snell's actions but instead noticed Michael. Snell spread his hands and deliberately looked innocent. Bruce and Hit hurriedly pulled Michael away. The referee just warned him and did not give him a technical foul. Old Will was indeed quite faced.
Bruce broke through with the ball, Cai Chen came up and picked and rolled it quickly, and Bayfield was attracted by Bruce, and he and Leonard clashed together. Bruce hurriedly passed the ball, Cai Chen got the ball and rushed to the basket, jumped up and dunked with both hands: It was finally difficult, and finally had a chance to vent.
Leonard knew Snell's temper. He was afraid that the latter would clash with Michael again, so he fought alone. Bruce had a good defense and covered his eyes when he turned around and layup. Leonard's move was a little crooked, and power forward Bella jumped up and gave him a big hat.
Cai Chen grabbed the ball and threw it to the frontcourt. Michael held the ball and quickly attacked. Snell followed closely behind. The two rushed to the penalty area one by one. Michael saw Snell with his own light, remembering his previous experience and his anger. He paused slightly. Snell thought he was going to adjust his steps and layup, and seized the opportunity and took it.
Snell appeared in front of him, Michael smiled coldly, grabbed the ball and spread his arms, he let his iron elbow turn out, rushed towards Snell, turned around, Snell moved horizontally to defend, and suddenly hit Michael's elbow, his face full of blooming - compared with Michael who was born on the street, Snell's small movements on the court were weak, and Michael's ruthlessness was definitely not comparable to that of him.
After ate the elbow, Snell screamed and flew out. Michael looked cold and took the opportunity to jump and dunk.
